This book is the true story of the author Jenny Cockle.
From a very young age Jenny has been plagued by the same vivid dreams, that of a young woman named Mary living in Ireland, In the dream Mary was actually on her death bed full of fear pain and anxiety at the thought of leaving her children.
As Jenny grew up more detail appeared in her dreams and she could describe the cottage in detail where Mary lived also the Village and the children, she drew maps of the roads and landmarks and filed these away. Later on Jenny managed to get hold of a map of Ireland and scanned the area which she knew from her dream and there indeed was the village in where Mary had lived.
Jenny got married and had a family of her own but the dreams never left her, she felt an awful responsibility to find her children, when she got to the age of thirty five she began her quest to find the truth.
Jenny went to hypnotheraphy sessions and found more details emerged, she went on to investigate further and actually went to visit the village in Ireland where Mary had lived all those years ago, the place was so very familiar to Jenny, strange, as jenny had never been there before.
Through her quest jenny managed to get hold of the birth certificates of the children of Mary and went through writing countless letters and making phone calls to try to trace them.
Eventually she managed to trace Sonny the first born of Mary and went to visit him at his home in Leeds. Jenny told her story of the memories she had through her dreams, Sonny was astonished as some of the things she told him, as only he knew.
Jenny by making contact has also re -established relationships between Sonny and his siblings and they still have contact to this day.
This dream tormented Jenny Cockle throughout her life, being so young at the time she didn't understand what all this meant, as she got older her determination to find the children proved fruitful.
This is a true and fascinating story and once picked up is hard to put down.
